Liu Haojia's words made everyone laugh, and they all thought that he was bragging! Shen Shixing even said directly to Cheng Guogong: "Grandpa Guo, is what Wu Ninghou said a little exaggerated?"

But Cheng Guogong said solemnly, "You also know that the old man has never fought in a war, and he is a Taiping Guogong, so his experience in the army is not enough! But the old man's eyesight is still there, and he can still see the good or bad of the soldiers! Those soldiers and old men have seen it for themselves, and they are indeed mighty and majestic! As for whether he can break more than 300,000 people in one battle, the old man can only say that the winning face is still very big!"

Zhang Juzheng and several people don't know martial arts, and after a long time in peace, they have no desire to study! So they naturally thought that Cheng Guogong was helping Liu Haojia brag, so they all had disapproving looks on their faces!

Zhang Han even said, "Grandpa Guo, this matter is not a trivial matter, you can't help him talk just because you are close to Wu Ninghou!"

Cheng Guogong also said with a look of embarrassment: "This thing is useless just by saying it, you have to see it!"

Zhang Han pursed his lips and said, "Could it be that in order to see the quality of the army, he still specially found someone to fight a battle!"

Liu Haojia stopped Cheng Guogong, who was just about to defend himself, and said, "Let's talk about this later! The lower official has already started to arrange a drill, and when the time comes, please ask the elders to take a look at it in person, and then you will know that what the lower official said is true!"

Although Zhang Juzheng and the others didn't quite know what the exercise meant, they could guess it. So just leave the topic alone! At this time, Zhang Juzheng said: "So you formed a new army because you think that there will be big problems in the country, so you can prepare for the unexpected?"

Liu Haojia nodded and said, "That's true! The country has enjoyed the country for more than 200 years, and about any demons and monsters are about to appear! Always be careful!"

Zhang Juzheng was very unhappy when he heard this! He felt that the Ming Dynasty at this time was extremely peaceful after his governance! Moreover, the treasury is gradually filling, and even the arrears owed to the officials for a long time have been issued, and they are still brewing to adjust and increase the salary! So this kind of proud thing was said by Liu Haojia to be the way of the world where the charm and the spirit were about to be born, how could he be willing!

Zhang Juzheng's face sank and he was noticed by Liu Haojia! He hurriedly said, "Lord Shousuke, I am not deliberately criticizing your merits, but just talking about the facts! In fact, the burden of the Ming people is a little easier than before! And you have to admit that there is also the credit of the lower officials!"...

Zhang Juzheng snorted imperceptibly and said, "You naturally have merit! Just talking about how to prevent smallpox and cheap salt is a great thing! So the current situation in Daming is good, why can't it be said that it just makes the burden of the people a little lighter, right?"

Zhang Han, as Zhang Juzheng's most loyal subordinate, immediately followed up and said, "That's it! Lord Shoufu has regulated yin and yang over the years, not to mention that the world is almost under great rule! A whip law fills the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and the test law makes the officials of the world diligent in the king's affairs, how come you only have a little credit in your mouth?"

Liu Haojia spread out his hands and said, "Elder Zhang Ge, we are not here to discuss this matter today! So the lower official only said one of the questions, how will you think about it in the future?"

Zhang Han raised his head and said, "Then you say! The old man doesn't think there's anything wrong with what Shousuke-sama is doing!"

Liu Haojia pursed his lips and said, "A whip method is indeed a good method, but it will turn bad when you get to the bottom! Because a whip law collects taxes on silver and copper coins, this creates a new burden on the peasants! Because in the past, farmers only needed to hand over grain to the government according to the weight after the autumn harvest, although it was said that they had to experience the exploitation of means such as drenching and kicking, but it was only experienced once! Now, after the implementation of a whip law, farmers who want to pay taxes must first sell their grain at merchants and exchange it for silver and copper coins before they can pay taxes! In this way, merchants can not only do tricks in the quantity, but also reduce the price when harvesting grain, but let the farmers be double-exploited! If a few elders don't believe me, they can send someone down to investigate quietly!"

As soon as Liu Haojia's words came out, the faces of several pavilion elders were gloomy, including Zhang Juzheng's face was also very ugly! If they don't know the drawbacks of a whip, it's absolutely impossible! It's just that for the sake of the country, they chose to sacrifice the interests of the small people! But they made an inventory

The hidden hermits have already offended the gentry, so they can only pretend not to see it, which can be regarded as a little compensation for them! But now that it has been broken, this face is ugly!

Liu Haojia naturally knew the reason, so after striking them down, he immediately changed the topic and said, "Back to what happened just now, another purpose of the lower officials to form a new army is to set an example for the armies of the world and tell them what the real army is! If it works, the lower officials want to ask Banzai Lord to cancel the military household system! You must know that the health centers in various places occupy a lot of fertile land, but they never pay taxes! Moreover, military households are not free because of household registration, if the military household system can really be abolished, I am afraid that the world will have more than 30% of the taxable land out of thin air, and there will be more people who don't know how much can be taxed! If this is the case, not only will the treasury be full, but there will even be an opportunity to reduce taxes for the people of the world! It's not far from the great rule of the world!"

Zhang Juzheng and several people are all civil officials, and they have been thinking about the rule of three generations since they were children! This scene is now depicted by Liu Haojia, and they are actually a little fascinated!

But they are all old officials who have accumulated for many years, and this kind of thing is just a thought about and it will pass! So Zhang Siwei immediately said, "I'm afraid that this kind of thing is just thinking about it, and how difficult it is to do!"

Liu Haojia said: "The so-called things are man-made! If you don't do it, how do you know if you will succeed? Just like when Lord Shoufu cleaned up the hidden fields and hidden households and implemented a whip law and the test method, how many people supported it? In the end, it wasn't done!"

Zhang Juzheng heard Liu Haojia's compliment and nodded with a smile! But then he still smiled and said, "Wu Ninghou, the old man sees that there is an unfinished meaning in your words, can you honestly say what your purpose is in doing this?"

When everyone heard Zhang Juzheng say this, they all focused their eyes on Liu Haojia's face, wanting to see what he could say! In fact, they don't really believe that Liu Haojia can have any strategy for governing the country, what he just said is just an occasional gain!

But when Liu Haojia heard this, he said, "Lord Shoufu, there are some things that everyone can know by heart, so why do you have to say it?"
